Great idea to use organic/green elements, but the food is just not that great. Plus they have the most egregious internet trolls on the local food websites. I can only assume any comment on the place is a blatant shill.

It's good, not great. There are plenty of great burgers in the DC Metro area.

I visited the Montclair NJ location and was severely disappointed. The burger was greasy and bland and the fries were soggy. I thought I just hit them on a bad night and tried it a second time with the same results. I will be sticking to Five Guys, which is luckily opening up in Montclair soon. Also, just down the block I saw Smashburger is coming in. Will need to try them out as well.

It's not dry just not the same taste. I feel sorry for the people who have to turn to this for a great burger. Who wants an organic burger? Better off with 5 guys any day of the week. The review above this listed the shake and fries before the burger. That says it all. Dont waste your time or money.
Tree huggers will love this burger and wont say anything bad about it.

I was born in Israel and raised in Brooklyn and live in Manhattan for 10 yrs. I'm also part of the old school hypoc-kosher crew that created their own rules in secret from their rabbi...I only don't eat pork and shellfish. Cheeseburgers and Chicken Parm somehow make the cut..... My family was Glatt Kosher too. What I'm getting at is that I've had the finest kosher and unkosher meat good money can buy in the 5 boroughs.Kosher meat blows. I'm not saying there aren't people that do it right, I'm just saying their access to fine meat is aweful (in Manhattan) and I'm sure it's worse elsewhere. KD (Kosher Delight) has been my staple for steamed-soggy-bun burgers growing up. The food there is crappy-good for the most part, the fried chicken is awesome. Difaro's pizza is 2 blocks away on Ave. J in Brooklyn, so serious eats could have a party between KD and Difaro's in and across the street Jerusalem II Pizza (which is the best kosher pizza joint hands-down) all in one one day (Someone, please invite me). Talia's steak was ok. It wasn't bad, but wasn't great either. Same for the burger. It's a real shame because there's no reason you can't have an awesome kosher burger....A great burger doesn't need cheese...just some bloody fatty goodness I call "Shacksplooge".

Although I've never actually eaten at Burgers Bar, I have heard great things about it and everyone I know loves it.
I have eaten in kosher delight and whenever I'm in Manhattan I always go eat there. I absolutely love their burgers and fries!!!

Talia's is awful, just awful. As a Kosher eater, I have little choice and live just a few blocks from there, and I *still* have stopped going there. The food is terrible, (tough, barely chewable meat, etc.). Once, after a miserable service experience (waited 20 minutes for a menu and 30 minutes for a check after asking multiple times) the owner's answer was to shrug and say, "OK, don't come back if you don't like it." I took his advice.

Try Abigael's Grill on Broadway for decent Kosher food.

@bjb39: Thanks for the recs! As for who recommended Standard Tap, quite a few people here and here.

Knowing Robyn's preference for a smaller, California-style burger I'd recommend Sketch Burger. Delicious hand cut fries too!

wow. unhinge jaw, insert burger. i like it.

@UnasBravas: Surprisingly, no; they look raw but were grilled just to the point of...not being raw anymore, haha. They had a mildly sweet flavor.

Looks like a good place, I like the Intro photos Keep it up :)

You haven't been to the best places yet, though..

Village Whiskey. Probably the best burger I've ever eaten in my entire life. Stick with the Village burger, the Whiskey King burger is too ridiculous. They tend to overcook a little - both times I ordered medium they came out very decidedly medium-well, so keep that in mind. For potatoes, I prefer their tater tots to their duck fat fries, which surprised me.

Runner-up: Pub & Kitchen's Windsor Burger. So delicious, house-made bacon on top.

Also, Butcher & Singer for their 6 dollar lunch special Burger. Step into Mad Men world and get an absolutely delicious example of what a Burger can be!
